Doa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
包み込まれ倒れそう
どうせならどしゃぶりになれ
何かを今失いそう
ジユウという響きにただ憧れ
結局僕はどこまで
はばたいてゆけたというの
絶対きみだろ
そうだろ
黙って抱きしめてくれたのは
風吹く真昼の街に
サイレンが響きわたる
愚か者よ目を覚ませ ah yeah
気がつきゃ道を曲がり踏切を渡って
見慣れた通りのはじっこに
たどり着いて黄昏の世界
その窓の灯りは誰のためのもの
こんな時こそすべてを
前向きにとらえさせておくれ
絶対きみだろ
ゆずれぬ物は今目の前にある
そうだろ
ムリヤリ抱きしめりゃいいんだ
ふるえる胸の奥の方
サイレンが響きわたる
愚か者よ走り出せ
絶対きみだろ
何も無い僕のそばにいたのは
そうだろ同じ光を見てた
Don't let me be alone
たしかに僕には聞こえている
そうだよ
知らないふりはもうできない
優しい歌声のよに
サイレンが空に溶ける愚か者よ叫べ
The song "Siren" by Doa is about trying to find direction in life amidst the chaos and confusion that surrounds the singer. The lyrics describe the singer being enveloped by thick clouds, feeling like they are going to fall down. They desire to experience the full extent of their situation and not just remain idle. The sound of the word "freedom" being merely an aspiration, the singer wonders how far they've managed to fly off into space. The lyrics further describe the singer's loneliness and how nobody was with them except for a comforting hug when they needed it most.
The song is an encouragement to the singer to awaken from their delusions and take a firm course of action. The sound of sirens is symbolic of the chaos that surrounds the singer's life, and the singer is implored to face reality and take action. In the end, the song is a call to action, asking the singer to find their way and make something of themselves.

懐かしいですね!当時ホラーゲームのサイレンのテーマ曲なのかと思ってましたw
らいよん
確かに、ゲームのサイレンに通じそうな曲調ですが「真昼の街にサイレンが響き渡る」とあるので直接のテーマ曲ではないですね。稲葉さんがゲームの影響を受けていたのか気になります。
